With Dead City approaching so soon and Beth finally returning, I just had to post this after seeing Emily share this song today. Here’s one for all of us on Team Delusion. 🤍 (read lyrics below!)

“I've been stuck inside a cloud I've been swimming in my doubt I've been sinking in a crowd And I find myself talking to myself out loud

Remember this That you're never alone in the fight Remember this In the darkness, there's always a light

Open my eyes to see It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful life Ain't it bitter and sweet It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful life

I'm still learning to breathe I don't have what I want But I have what I need Open my eyes to see I don't have what I want But I have what I need

Am I living? Am I dead? Is it all just in my head? I can't sleep when I'm in bed I feel the darkness taking over me

Open my eyes to see It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful life Ain't it bitter and sweet It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful life

I'm still learning to breathe I don't have what I want But I have what I need Open my eyes to see I don't have what I want But I have what I need

And it feels like The only thing that's mine is this life I lead And it feels like The only light I find is the light that's finding me

Remember this That you're never alone in the fight Remember this In the darkness, there's always a light Remember this That you're never alone Love is the voice that's guiding you home Remember this Don't run from the fight Here comes that morning light

Open my eyes to see It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful life, hey, it's the beautiful life Ain't it bitter and sweet It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful life, it's the beautiful life

I'm still learning to breathe I don't have what I want But I have what I need, I have what I need Open my eyes to see I don't have what I want But I have what I need, I have what I need

It's a beautiful life, it's the beautiful life It's a beautiful life, hey, it's the beautiful life It's the beautiful life, oh-oh-oh-oh”

Daryl + confiding in Beth.

[dragongirlteeth]

I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising

[dragongirlteeth]

I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.

If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible

[obidala2]

Uhhhh, guys? This was apparently posted a couple of weeks ago from the Daryl Dixon post production crew saying post had wrapped. In the top left when zoomed in it says, "Property of RTD 408". But am I nuts or......is that not two people embracing between those pillars? Or is it another pillar??? What do you think?? At first I thought for sure it’s two people embracing….but then I’m like could also just be a pillar…..gah! EDIT: auroraroseane on the Discord found it! It is near the base in Cadiz Spain that was one of the last filming locations. Also, there is no pillar! So it's definitely a couple hugging - could be Carol/Antonio, could be Daryl/Someone!

Definitely no pillar in that spot.

EDIT: Also looking at the darkness around the edges of the post-production party picture….i think this might be new opening credits. So once again, highlighting how this season is going to be different from the others. S1 and S2 in France had the same opening credits (a couple of minor changes in the S2 ones). S3 and S4 in Spain are going to be different.

EDIT: Updating the post to show what the end title card of the credits have been for all the seasons until now. S4 is so DIFFERENT. S1/S2/S3/S4:

Color scheme is so much lighter and it actually has a location in it. @twdmusicboxmystery The hugging couple COULD be Cantonio OR..... I don't believe that they would have had Emily Kinney out filming this much in the open, but since this appears to be part of the title credits, this is likely a representation of something that's going to happen in the season, not actually the footage of an actual thing.

migraine tips! in case anyone doesn't know how to deal with one, here's some pointers for you if you are having one or someone you know is, from someone who suffers from chronic migraines and chronic micro-migraines 💞💞 (i used the mayo clinic website to help me with the accuracy of my information btw)

what is a migraine?

— a migraine is a type of severe headache where you typically feel throbbing or pulsing pain on a singular side of the head, usually in the front or side. a large majority of people who experience migraines report light and sound sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness (if you pass out, go to the ER or call an ambulance!)

leadup?

— the migraine itself usually does not start with the pain. there is a period of time before the actual migraine headache itself called the prodrome. this stage can last around one to two days. symptoms of the prodrome are:

constipation

extreme mood swings

cravings

stiffness of the neck

increased urination

fluid retention

frequent/uncontrollable yawning

— there is something called a "migraine aura". some people who experience migraines will experience this before the pain itself begins. auras are reversible symptoms of the nervous system. they are usually visual—though they can also present otherwise, such as bodily sensations. each symptom will build up gradually and last up to 60 minutes. it is very important you take pain medication as soon as you notice any of the following symptoms of the migraine "aura":

visual changes, such as seeing shapes, bright spots, or flashes of light

vision loss

a feeling of pins and needles in an arm or leg

weakness or numbness in the face or one side of the body

trouble speaking

— the reason i say it is important to take pain medication immediately (both ibuprofen and paracetamol, they are safe to take together) is to lessen the pain as much as possible during the migraine attack. once the aura fades, the pain is horrid. the quicker you take the painkillers, the more effective they are during the attack.

attack?

— untreated, migraine headaches usually last anywhere from 4 - 72 hours (i, myself, have had a migraine that lasted 87 hours, my body just does that). how often a migraine may occur varies from person to person; this can be a weekly or monthly thing for some, and an annual thing for others. typical migraine symptoms include:

pain that's (usually) on one side of your head, though it can occur on both sides at the same time

pain that throbs or pulses

sensitivity to light, sound, and sometimes smell or touch

nausea and vomiting

consciousness being unreliable

postdrome?

— after the attack, the next day or two may feel confusing, overly or unusually fatiguing, or straight-up draining. there are also reports of higher energy levels or feeling suddenly elated, which could be due to a spike in dopamine/norepinephrine, though low levels of plasma norepinephrine during the steady state has also been found in individuals who frequently experience migraines. certain research suggests that patients with migraine show sympathetic hypofunction together with denervation hypersensitivity of the iris and the arteries, and that a defective noradrenergic nervous system may play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine. anyways, you can continue to take painkillers until the pain gets more tolerable, though it's really just personal preference after the attack.

treatment?

— simple, at-home treatments include:

cold compress on your head or the area in pain

warm compress on your head or the area in pain

pain-relief medication (take both ibuprofen and paracetamol together)

low-to-no lights

quiet, dark room

anti-nausea medication

no phone, tv, laptop, or ipad time! no blue-light

plain, basic food (the kind you'd eat if you had a stomach bug)

relaxing in general, try to stay calm as stress/anxiety can worsen the pain

doctor?

— migraines are often not diagnosed or treated. if you regularly have symptoms of migraines, keep a record of your attacks and how you treated them. then make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your headaches and potential underlying causes, to find a proper long-term treatment. if you have a history of headaches, see your healthcare professional if the pattern changes or your headaches suddenly feel different, trust your doctor and not a random girl on tumblr! see your doctor immediately or go to the ER if you have any of the following symptoms. they could be caused by a more serious medical issue than a simple migraine:

an abrupt, very bad headache like a thunderclap

headache with a fever, stiff neck, confusion, seizures, double vision, or numbness or weakness in any part of the body, as these are symptoms of a stroke

headache after a head injury

chronic headache that is worse after coughing, exertion, straining or sudden movement

triggers?

— there are many common triggers, a lot of which are unavoidable, which sucks. some of these are:

hormones. fluctuation in estrogen levels seems to trigger headaches in many people. this can happen before or during your periods or during pregnancy and menopause. hormonal medicines, such as birth control, can also worsen migraines. some people, however, find that their migraines occur less often when taking hormonal contraceptives. i've even heard of a woman who didn't get migraines at all during her pregnancy, due to the hormonal aspect of it.

alcohol and caffeine. alcohol, especially wine, can trigger migraines, as well as too much caffeine, such as in coffee. if you commonly get migraines, try going sober or switching to decaf!

stress. as with a lot of headaches, being stressed can be the most simple but annoying cause of it.

sensory stimuli. bright or flashing lights can induce migraines, as well as loud noises. strong scents such as perfume, paint thinner, secondhand smoke, etc. can all cause migraines.

sleep changes. missing sleep or oversleeping could be the cause. regulate your sleep schedule!

physical strain. intense physical exertion (yes, sex counts) could trigger a migraine in certain individuals, especially if it's out of the norm for you.

weather changes. changes in temperature, barometric level shifts, and seasonal changes can provoke a migraine headache.

medicines. oral contraceptives and vasodilators (nitroglycerin is one example) can aggravate migraines.

foods. aged cheeses, salty or processed foods, or skipping meals could be the cause.

food additives. whilst rare, things like MSG (monosodium glutamate) can also bring on a migraine headache.

risk factors?

— some things are out of your control, but they can still make you more susceptible to getting migraines. such as:

family history. pretty self-explanatory, but having a family member with a history of migraines can up your chances of getting one yourself.

age. migraines can begin to occur at any age, but usually begin around thirteen to nineteen. they peak during your thirties, then lessen with age (usually).

sex. AFAB people are three time more likely to experience migraines than AMAB people.

hormonal changes. typically begin just before or shortly after your first period; they also may change during pregnancy or menopause. a lot of women have reported that migraines either lessened or completely stopped post-menopause.

important notes?

— if you commonly get migraines/severe headaches, see a doctor. it is not normal and there are long-term treatments, such as migraine-specific medication, a type of migraine-therapy (i believe), etc. you do not have to live with the excruciating pain, and discussing with a medical professional what your triggers/causes might be and the best way to treat them long-term is insanely beneficial and relieving. for me, it was mainly malnutrition and anxiety, and my migraines are much less frequent now that i am managing both.

perhaps a hot take but using “migraine” as a stand in word for “headache” is like saying you’re so ocd because you like organized spaces

[chrysiridiawings]

Hey so someone with chronic migraines is disabled, yall know that right

Like this applies to all “invisible” disabilities in the sense that just bc you can’t see what’s wrong doesn’t mean nothing is wrong or they aren’t disabled but it’s especially the case for chronic migraines

Migraines are NOT just headaches. It’s not just “oof ow my head hurt :(”, Migraines are WHOLE body affair. It’s getting weepy and irritable hours before the pain hits, it’s starting to get clumsy and feeling body aches just before the pain starts, it’s getting stiff because of the aches and sensitive to light and sound because of how heightened senses get.

And when the pain gets, sometimes it is the general image of someone locked in a dark room in bed, which is genuinely awful bc you can’t do anything. You just have to lay there and stew in your pain and no medicine touches it and everything hurts, worst of all your head and there is nothing to focus on other than the pain because any light hurts and any sound hurts.

But sometimes the pain isn’t bad enough for that, or sometimes you have to work or go to school with nails in your head and it’s impossible to focus. Your depth perception gets wonky, you’re clumsy, you slur or stumble over your words because so much of your brain is occupied only by pain. You can’t miss another day of work, you can’t miss the money, but you’re messing up orders or you’re misunderstanding instructions.

And then there’s the after. Postdrome, the migraine hangover. Where the emotional and irritability returns, and you have issues with your stomach, very often leaving you unable to eat or drink without puking. Your neck is stiff, your head feels heavy, your brain is so fogged up that you can barely string together a coherent sentence. Your body aches much worse than before, and you’re exhausted, fatigued to hell and back, and that lasts for 1-3 days after the actual migraine.

Migraines are a multi-day condition that affects EVERY aspect of your fucking life. And medicines that treat the pain very often only lessen the symptoms that occur before and after.

So when I say I am disabled and then I start talking about migraines, I don’t ever want to fucking hear someone say “headaches aren’t disability”. I will actually deck you across the face you fucking prick.

[chrysiridiawings]

I want to wish everyone who has tagged this post with some variation of “huh maybe I should see a doctor” or “oh, that’s what happens, maybe I have migraines” a very happy see a neurologist 💜💜💜💜💜

[grayscale-sparks]

“you have a headache from doing nothing all day??”

idk how to explain chronic migraines to you

[prokopetz]

You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.

[calloutnevvegas]

For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:

Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning

Don’t fuck with flamingos

[revretch]

….. Didn’t know most of that

[iamthekaijuking]

Huh… so that’s why zoos don’t put them somewhere warm during winter.

[revretch]

Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.

American flamingos just drink that shit

[bogleech]

(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.

When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.

It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:

[assuming-dinosaur]

Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.
